    Pastel de Choclo y Pollo (Corn and Chicken Cake)Pin

    After buying a lot of fresh corn at the market last week, I was searching for ways to use it beyond choclo asado (grilled corn) or boiled corn. Then remembered a delicious and simple savory corn cake that my grandmother used to make in Colombia called Pastel de Choclo y Pollo.

    Pastel de Choclo is a very popular dish in Colombia and South America. There are different versions of corn cakes, every country and cook having their own recipe. I previously posted a Colombian Style Corn Cake recipe that I love that had no filling and is very simple to make. So if you are looking for new ideas to use fresh corn this summer you can find that recipe here.

    This Pastel de Choclo y Pollo (Colombian Corn and Chicken Cake) has a chicken and cheese filling. It's a wonderful dish and I like to serve it with avocado slices or my easy Avocado and Tomato Salad on the side.

    Buen provecho!

      Just like Grace said, never seen anything like this. I was thinking it would be like a patty (like a crab cake) so this was a real surprise. It sounds and looks really good.

      Very tasty I have tried versions without cheese, but I’m a real cheese lover. I threw in some black olives for the heck of it. Next time I might add a little cumin.
